[thelist] accepted page weight

Generally speaking, what is accepted page weight in kilobytes?  Fast 
broadband connections make 130k load reasonably fast, but there are 
still lots of 56k modem folks out there (I think).  It's a real push to 
keep pages below 75k given a couple graphics or perhaps some javascript.

Perhaps I ask the wrong question.  Modem users, these days, what do they 
accept - (8, 10, 15 seconds)- and are there enough, statistically to 
build sites tailored to them?  Of course this could be one of the 
interview questions to the client, i.e. "the makeup of your audience???"
